> The Steele dossier includes information from Russian sources. It was not "paid for" by Russia.

Literally in USA today today my man: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/11/10/we-d...

Quote: When the FBI obtained the dossier in September 2016, compiled by a former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, Comey told lawmakers he was unaware Steele's primary source was a suspected Russian agent.

A Russian agent is someone paid by Russia. Hence the dossier was sourced from misinformation spread by a paid Russian agent.

You're moving the goalposts. You original said the report itself was "known to have been paid for by Russia".

It's plainly false that the report was paid for by Russia and your attempt to assert this as an indisputable fact by prefixing it with "known to" makes it doubly disingenuous.
